About this property

Discover natural tropical wonders staying at this beachside house at El Coco

Ideal for a family getaway, Casa Tora is a two-story house located on remote Playa El Coco beach in southern Nicaragua. Casa Tora is located within an ecological beach community, Parque Marítimo El Coco ( just 2.5 hours from the airport in Managua, Nicaragua. The park is 2 km from La Flor turtle reserve where thousands of turtles come each year to lay their eggs. The house is sheltered on a wooded lot 50 meters from the beach. Playa El Coco is a one km long white sand beach where monkeys, possums, parrots and other tropical birds come to feed. A natural paradise for relaxing, nature watching, biking, boogie and surfboarding, snorkeling, fishing, swimming and more. Playa El Cocoa is just 17 km south of San Juan del Sur, a charming seaside town with supermarkets, restaurants, and other services.

The house combines traditional colonial design with modern amenities. The first floor has a large porch, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and spacious bedroom for two. The second floor has a porch, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.

We live in Managua and can help arrange travel to and from Playa El Coco.

Come enjoy our home away from home!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Wiegel

Host profile image
We are a family of five who live in Managua, Nicaragua. Jenny (born in Chicago, USA) and Winston (born in Leon, Nicaragua) and our children Amaru (24), Amaya (19), and Hazel (36) who still comes to visit!

Why they chose this property

We started coming to Playa El Coco in 1997 and, since we kept coming back, we decided we wanted a house here. It was finally completed in March, 2016. Our children learned to ride their bikes, boogie board and snorkel here; saw their first shooting star and have had countless other memorable adventures with monkeys, hermit crabs, dolphins, whales, turtles and more. We rent our house to others so they can enjoy Playa El Coco as well and to help cover the costs of maintaining it. What we like best about Parque Marítimo El Coco, aside from the beach which we think is the best in Nicaragua, is the natural environment we share with wildlife who also live here.

We named our house Casa Tora after the tora sea turtle, leatherback in English, the largest (up to 2 meters long!) and most highly endangered sea turtle in the world. We have seen her tracks on the beach at Playa El Coco and her babies hatch out and go to the sea, but we are still waiting for the chance someday to see the adult. Keeping Playa El Coco as natural as possible, free of noise, lights and contamination is important to us and the toras.

What makes this property unique

20 minute hike from La Flor Natural Reserve where thousands of turtles come to lay eggs and where their babies hatch. Wildlife all around including parrots, monkeys, skunks, turtles and more. We love that we can walk down to the next beach to snorkel or boogie board right on El Coco, or fish, or practice surfing! We love the sunsets and the uncrowded beach.
